Then on the back wall that faced the outside of the house I put a second layer of 5/8” sheetrock with Green Glue between the two layers. The studio ceiling was framed separately from the joists of the room above to create a decoupling effect with about 2 – 3 feet between the ceiling of the studio and the floor of the room above and two layers of insulation in between.ģ) Installed 5/8” sheetrock on all walls and the ceiling. The room above had insulation between the joists already, so this provided two layers of insulation, one below the floor of the room above and one above the ceiling of the studio. Our lots here are very small and the neighbors are close, probably 20 feet away on the sides, so if sound gets out it could disturb a lot of people.ġ) Got a contractor to frame out the room for sheetrock and replace the existing door (which had glass) with a solid steel one.Ģ) I put R13 insultation batts in all walls and above the ceiling joists.
Thus, there was plenty of opportunity for sound to escape and it wouldn’t be real easy to seal it in. The space was an unfinished basement room on the back side of the house with an exterior door and no walls fully underground.

The second room I did, in my last house, was a great success, but it was pretty easy because it was a pre-finished basement room, completely underground, deep inside the house, with no external doors or windows near it. The attempt at my first house was not a success (tried to use stiff foam insulation which had little effect). I’m by no means a professional, but I’m on the third room I’ve tried to soundproof and have learned a few things.

This is my description for how to do a jam space/practice space/amateur recording studio. I know people always want to find out how to create a space to crank amps, and there’s not much online that falls between soundproofing a room for a home theater system and professionally soundproofing a recording studio. I’m leaving this post here as a resource in case anyone does a search.
